The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
It's ok, it's ok, ok relieve me
Pins in me, pins in me, in me you kill me
The lounge fly, the lounge fly, the fly you bring me
I think I'm free but the dogs they won't release me
Don't have a nickel or a dollar but you feed me
My bottle's empty but you always refuel me
I feel I'm sinking but you wont let me drown me
I wanna fuck, I wanna fuck, but do you need me
I can't give what I take away
And the other understands
She said she'd be my woman
She said she'd be my man
And I can't live this way
Please refill my soul
It's ok, its ok, ok believe me
Pins in me, pins in me, in me you kill me
The lounge fly, the lounge fly, the fly you bring me
I think I'm free but the dogs they won't release me
Don't have a nickel or a dollar but you feed me
My bottle's empty but you always refuel me
I feel I'm sinking but you wont let me drown me
I wanna fuck, I wanna fuck, but do you need me
I can't give what I take away
And the other understands
She said she'd be my woman
She said she'd be my man
And I can't live this way
Please refill my soul
She said she'd be my woman
She said she'd be my woman
Said she'd be my man
I can't give what I take away
And the other understands
She said she'd be my woman
She said she'd be my man
And I can't live this way
Please refill my soul
She said she'd be my woman
She said she'd be my man
She said she'd be my woman
She said she'd be my man
She said she'd be my woman
She said she'd be my man
She said she'd be my woman
She said she'd be my man
She said she'd be my woman
She said she'd be my man
She said she'd be my woman
Pins in me, pins in me, in me you kill me
The lounge fly, the lounge fly, the fly you bring me
I think I'm free but the dogs they won't release me
Don't have a nickel or a dollar but you feed me
My bottle's empty but you always refuel me
I feel I'm sinking but you wont let me drown me
I wanna fuck, I wanna fuck, but do you need me
I can't give what I take away
And the other understands
She said she'd be my woman
She said she'd be my man
And I can't live this way
Please refill my soul
It's ok, its ok, ok believe me
Pins in me, pins in me, in me you kill me

Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Yeah, kaisute, I agree on the interpretation...
The line "the dogs, they won't release me" could be referencing "Plush", as that song has the same subject matter...
I'm sure Scott didn't actually project himself as the madman portrayed in this song, he was just putting himself through the eyes of one...
The whole relationship interpretation is sensible, but digging deeper shows that there may be a darker meaning than what's on the surface...
